Main Ingredients
Method
Preparation
- 1
Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). This will ensure the squash roasts evenly.
- 2
Prepare the Squash
Cut the acorn squash in half lengthwise and scoop out the seeds with a spoon. This will create space for the seasoning.
- 3
Season the Squash
In a small bowl, mix together the olive oil, maple syrup, salt, black pepper, and ground cinnamon. Brush this mixture generously over the cut sides of each acorn squash half.
- 4
Add Pecans
Sprinkle the chopped pecans into the cavity of each squash half, distributing them evenly.
Roasting
- 5
Arrange on Baking Sheet
Place the squash halves cut-side up on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. This will prevent sticking and make cleanup easier.
- 6
Roast the Squash
Roast in the preheated oven for 30-40 minutes, or until the squash is tender and can be easily pierced with a fork.
Serving
- 7
Serve Warm
Remove the squash from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes. Serve warm as a side dish or a vegetarian main course.
